Blue Ridge Music Center Programming

Matching Opportunity

Right now, your gift to the Blue Ridge Music Center will have twice the impact!

Gifts to make transformative improvements at the national park facility will be doubled by a $170,000 grant from the National Park Foundation.

Your gift today will help ensure this exciting hub for mountain music remains a welcoming place for years to come. Every donation, no matter the amount, brings us closer to reaching our goal and meeting the match. Your gift today will:

• Repair masonry seating and retaining walls, sidewalks and curbs to improve staff and visitor safety
• Provide audio equipment to play traditional mountain music on the breezeway and in front of the Visitor Center and Luthier Shop
• Expand public Wi-Fi at the museum and visitor center
• Upgrade lighting in the outdoor amphitheater

Please give today so your donation will be matched dollar for dollar!

Additional ways to support music traditions:

Milepost Music

You can donate to make the Milepost Music series of summer concerts possible. The free performances are hosted from June through September at popular destinations on the Parkway, including Mabry Mill in Virginia and The Bluffs Restaurant in North Carolina. The Sunday afternoon shows supplement educational programs for visitors as park staffing shortages continue and help support local and regional musicians. You can share the joy of mountain music with a gift that supports artist fees, production costs, advertising and administration/coordination of this impactful cultural series. Donate

Keep Tunes & Tales Alive

At the Blue Ridge Music Center, the sounds of the mountains are preserved, interpreted, and celebrated through the annual summer concert series hosted in the outdoor amphitheater with beautiful Fisher Peak as the backdrop. However, concert ticket sales, grants, and sponsorships do not cover the costs of all the dynamic programs offered spring through fall. With a donation, you can ensure that the music of the mountains comes to life and a treasured aspect of the region's cultural heritage remains vibrant. Donate
